Building block interface generator

thingiverse

This SCad standalone module is designed for fine-tuning main building block interfaces in one place. You can then build your own custom building bricks on top of this. It has three main interfaces: * Knobs on the top of a brick * Studs at the bottom of a brick * Half sleeper (end of track) You can generate these objects: * Standard bricks * Half bricks * Plates * Angled bricks Usage: * First, print only calibration pieces with minimum filament. Test and tune these interfaces. * Once you're happy, it's possible to generate standard bricks or plates. * The main reason is using this module in your own brick customizer. Some customizers are already using this module: * Train tracks (& elevation adjustment) - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2921971 * Crossing generator - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2952660 * Funnel generator - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2952655 * Train specials - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2974516 * Flex track - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3153041 * More to follow... * Your customizer? Create one of your own and let me know! Most terminology inside the script is copied from this great website: https://www.cailliau.org/Alphabetical/L/Lego/Dimensions/General%20Considerations/%20General%20Considerations-en.html. Update v2 20180630: Make a clear difference between plate and baseplate. Plates are half heights of bricks. BasePlate is that real flat plate (1.6 mm thick). Updated function: GeneratePlate(). Added function: GenerateBasePlate(). Added option to create open or closed knobs at top of brick. Updated customizer functionality.
